Sukta 127
यक्ष्मनाशनम्। वि॒द्र॒धस्य॑ ब॒लास॑स्य॒ लोहि॑तस्य वनस्पते । वि॒सल्प॑कस्योषधे॒ मोच्छि॑षः पिशि॒तं च॒न
yákṣma-nāśanam | vidradhásya balā́sasya lóhitasya vanaspate | visálpakasyóṣadhe mā́ ucchíṣaḥ piśitáṃ ca ná
A charm for the slaying of Yakṣma. Of abscess, of balāsa-phlegm, of the red disorder, O Lord of the Forest—of visalpaka, O Herb—leave thou no remnant, no flesh at all.
यह रोग को खत्म करने की दुआ है। फोड़े, खांसी, और लाल दागे, वनस्पति भगवान, तुम उनको मिटा दो। जड़ी बूटी, तुम बीमारी का कोई निशान मत छोड़ो, कुछ भी नहीं।
